My magic system is probably in the middle of soft and hard
It has magic circles that you can tweak add and change components of to get desired results

Or you have the circle-less magic which is based more off instinct and the subconciensce but requires a lot more training and natural talent for it not to go out of control

I like magic as defined as how important it is, if it isn't important it doesn't need to be detailed (aka soft) but if it is going to play a big role I want it to be detailed (aka hard), to play it safe I would always want it hard

An advantage that soft magic has over hard magic is that the later dosen't feel... magical.
Its just a science in a world with diferent laws of phisics which can be great but still, it isn't magic.
